How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the cooktop and allow it to cool completely.

- Check ventilation: Ensure that the cooktop’s cooling vents (often under the front edge or in the cabinet) are not blocked by liners, insulation, or stored items.
- Power reset: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and test.
- If E1 returns quickly: The temperature sensor or power module for that zone may be faulty and will require replacement by a qualified technician.
